Marketing Tip of the week: Getting more referrals

Some people like to hand out referrals like candy on Halloween. Others never do it even if they love your product or service. The former give them away so much that people might not trust them. Maybe they are recommending someone or some thing that they really don't have experience with so they can stay in a leads group that encourages referrals. Real referrals are much better but how do you get more?

ASK! Yes, ask by telling them that you appreciate referrals
TELL them to…

This Week's Recipe: Roasted Fennel and Carrots with Pecorino

If you haven't tried fennel before, you're in for a treat. Served raw in salads, this bulbous plant adds crunch with the flavor of anise. When cooked, the flavor becomes more delicate. This simple gratin is a great spring or summer side dish. I discovered the recipe on www.epicurious.com, one of my favorite recipe websites; the site archives recipes from Bon Appetit and…

RELATIONSHIP TIP OF THE WEEK: Don't Be Dismissive

Often partners are dismissive of each other without even realizing it.

He or she is left with the feeling that his/her feelings aren’t important, and still feels the need to have those feelings validated. If you are under the impression that your partner keeps bringing…

Marketing Tip: What can we learn From Lady Gaga?

A month ago I didn't even know who Lady Gaga was, what she was famous for, I know absolutely nothing. Just heard her name on the radio and I was like who? Whatever...

You might think I live in a cave but the real reason is that I choose not to watch television. We don't even get television in the house. Just Internet and phone.

Back to the point... Today I saw in an online news article that Lady Gaga is the new creative director for Polaroid so…
